Periodic Table

I am not a chemist. My background is in physics. There was always far too much stuff to learn in chemistry. In physics you don't have to learn stuff you have to work it out. Perhaps that explains some of my thinking about education and learning. I am not a big fan of learning stuff. That's what books and the web are for. I can look up stuff that I need to know. What I do need is the skills to know how to do something. Hence, physics is a far superior discipline. We just need to be clear about that before you read on. Someone sent me a link to this site and when I had a look I reckoned that it could be very useful for all those poor people who have to study chemistry (apart from my son, Alistair, I am not sure that there are many of them now anyway). Each of the elements on the table has a link to a video about that element.

A good resource for all those poor teachers of chemistry.
